Rubio: It May Be Time to Defund the United Nations
[Conservative Free Press] Sen. Marco Rubio hasn’t always been the most steadfast supporter of the Trump administration, but he ‐ like many Republicans ‐ was distressed by what he witnessed on Thursday when the United Nations General Assembly voted 128-9 to condemn the U.S. for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. In a tweet following that disgraceful vote, the Florida senator said it might be time for America to seriously think about pulling its investments out of the increasingly-hostile international organization."Given its tendency to be a forum for anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism, reevaluation of US role as single largest donor to #UN is long overdue," wrote Rubio. President Donald Trump and Ambassador Nikki Haley have also said that the vote will weigh heavily when it comes to America’s relationship with member countries, to say nothing of the organization as a whole. "They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us," Trump said Wednesday. "Well, we’re watching those votes. Let them vote against us. We’ll save a lot. We don’t care." Posted by: Besoeker 2017-12-28 |
